 :p Glad I got in there quick, then! I looked over your contributions - you're off to a good start! Make sure to provide an adequate edit summary for as many edits as you can, though - it makes life a lot easier for everyone else, and if you don't provide one, people might think you're trying to sneak things past them :) Otherwise, good work, and as I say above, if you have any questions, give me a buzz! riana_dzasta 17:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and by the way, there's Special:Newusers for the log of new users. Will ^{(message ♪)} 19:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Oops, that should be Special:Log/newusers. Will ^{(message ♪)} 20:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Any other questions, ask me or Riana, or basically anyone. Will ^{(message ♪)} 20:44, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Hello,

Thank you for your stub tagging. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! Ksbrown 12:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Question on my talk page

I am a horrible instructor when it comes to Wikipedia tools. I will just give yout the link: Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Popups are handy for vandalism and blatant Wikipedia policy violations. They are not for content disputes. Good luck reverting vandalism. Take care! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 12:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clockwork Orange

I noticed those displays for the first time today. The ones outside the barriers at St Enoch appeared to be working. I also used the multi-storey car park at Shields Road for the first time.

Over the last 20+ years whilst I have been using the Subway I get the impression that is it called Clockwork Orange and Subway interchangable by the Wegies. As for a citation, that is definitely the difficult bit. Stewart 21:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why Raining girl?

However given the weather over the last days I am not surprised.

And you are a Trekkie  :-) Stewart 21:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: more of the same

Glad your trying to use more specific stub types. I wasn't moaning, it's just I really had to look to find out a list of stubs when I started editing and thought some people may find the link to the list helpful. I quite agree that some articles are only ever going to be a certain length. To tackle stubs that aren't actually stubs there is a wikiproject. If your interested it is called the Stubsensor. Enjoy the editing. :o) Ksbrown 23:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Screaming Jets DVDs

Hello,

WP:PROD does not deal with categories, so I've transferred your PROD to WP:CFD 132.205.93.88 03:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel de Champlain

Hi - As you may know, I semi-protected the article yesterday. Just as an idea for the reason - could it be that it's being studied in schools around this time? This is the only concievable reason I can think of (and I don't even know if his history is taught anywhere in the world - not in the UK, at least!) Martinp23 19:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re. your strange decision regarding protecting Uranus

Thank you for contacting me. My decision is not strange at all. And your statement "If there was ever a page that justified protection, this is it" reveals that you might not be accustomed to the flux of vandalism on Wikipedia yet. A handful of vandalism reversions in the past week is definitely not enough to justify protection (the vandal patrol and users who have watchlisted Uranus deal with it just fine). Articles that are supposed to be protected are being targeted much more often. Check this for instance and compare with Uranus. I hope this helps explaining the system. Regards.--Húsönd 17:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't reply with a snide tone, observe WP:CIVIL. Granting protection to an article is at administrators' discretion. Some might protect for less, some for more. From my experience on WP:RFPP, I can say that most admins would not have protected Uranus. --Húsönd 18:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
